Your first Final Fantasy vs. your favorite

[The Captain]

The first Final Fantasy I played was indeed FF1 and while it holds a certain place in my heart, it just doesn't hold a candle in my opinion to my favorite one, which is FF8.

I think it's generally a split for some people, where a good portion of the folks end up making the first Final Fantasy their favorite because it introduced them into the world of it all. They learned everything while playing the game and it allowed them to become more adapt at playing later or earlier games afterwards.

Then, on the flip side, other people play one Final Fantasy, either enjoy, or don't enjoy it, then decide to try a different one and fall in love with that one instead. Maybe because it's different from the first one they played, or they might just enjoy it more. Or maybe it augments things from the first game they played in a way they enjoy more. It's tough to say, but to each their own I say.

Take care all.

I played FF8 first, but that was borrowing it from a friend and I really bit at it. The first one I really played was FF7, and it is my favorite FF of all time. Nothing can beat it for me. Though FF9 and 10 were good, and FF8 was O.K. Also, FF1 rocks... My head hurts...

My first Final Fantasy was VIII. I was hooked when I first saw it's great graphics, but as the story went along I kinda got bored with it only playing it once and a while. Then I played VII, which is my now my favorite.

My First was IX, and my favourite's probably VI.

My first Final Fantasy was FFVII and my favorite is a tie between FFVIII and FFIX (although this game I still have yet to finish... I bought it when it first came out and never got around to getting past disc 2--how sad).

FFVIII because I loved all the characters. Zell and Rin-chan were just too fun. ^_^

FFIX because I just love the fantasy backdrop and the wonderful characterizations (and it's so wonderfully emotional too). It really does put the "fantasy" back into Final Fantasy.

My first Final Fantasy was FF1, but my favorite is FF6. FF1 holds a spot among my top favorite 3.

FF6
FF3 <-- in no order
FF1 <-- in no order

first one was one. i dunno if it counts since my father bought it. but it was my first one. The first one that I...Myself bought was 3. but my favorite was, is, and always will be... 7.

Well, my favorite is FFVI and it was also my first FF. It was only the second RPG that I had ever played in my life, my first? Mario RPG of course!

[Lexton]

The first FF I played was Mystic Quest but that game doesn"t really count. So the first real FF I played was FF8 anf my favourite is FFX.

The first Final Fantasy I played was FF7, and it's also my favourite one.

mario rpg was the greatest game ever. i remember buying it, and not leaving my room for days. i beat in a week i think, but it was still the best

My first was FF1 (which I still own ) and I've beaten FF7, FF8, and (almost) FF9. It's pretty difficult to say which is my favorite out of all those. They were all very addictive and have great stories, and it just wouldn't be fair to single out only one as my favorite.

In short...they all r0x0rz!!!

FF4 (first) vs. FF6 (favourite)

But my first RPG is was Phantasy Star...

[Wightraven]

FFI was me first, FFVI is me favorite, not to mention my favorite game of all time, too.

Anyway, interesting trend I'm noticing here; For the most part, those who started with FFI like FFVI, those who started with VII like VII or VIII... and above all, those who started old-school love old-school, and those who started new-school love new school... hmmm...
